Chloe woke up the next morning to the sound of her own screams. She had a nightmare. She couldn't remember what the nightmare consisted of, but she knew it was defenitley frightening. She had woken up and hour earlier than usual so decided to go pay someone a visit.

"Hello?"

"Hi. Tom, it's me. Erm can I come in?"

"I guess so."

She walked into toms bedroom. It was massive. The prefects have a diffrent set of dormitories and they are a lot nicer than the typical ones.

"Well? What do you need?"

'Dang someone is sharp this morning'. She thought harshly

"I wanted to um ask you something. Not like a favor or anything just a question. Or request. Well not really a request more so of a speculation. Is that the right word speculation? I've never really-"

"Get on with it Potter"

He said clearly annoyed.

Why was she so nervous? Why couldn't she just spit it out? 'Ugh what is wrong with me?!' She thought, mentally face palming herself

"Would you like to spend the last week of Christmas break with me, er I mean with the order?"

Tom looked absolutely dumbfounded

"The order? As in the one whose whole job was to kill my father?"

He asked skeptically

"Yes."

"That would just be lovely. The would welcome me with open arms"

He said sarcastically

"Cmon it won't be that bad. Plus the whole group is going."

"Fine...on one condition"

"What is that?"

"We need to go find out how to solve this ridiculous riddle."

"Which one?"

She asked mockingly

She burst out laughing but he just glared at her

"Alright let's go"

She finally said


"I CANT FIND ANYTHING"

Chloe screamed as she threw the book on the floor. Everyone in the library turned to look at her. Tom didn't bother to flinch or look up from his book. She'd been doing that for the past hour.

"Oi keep it down it's six in the morning you lunatic"

Some kid yelled from across the library

"Cmon"

Tom finally said

"Where?"

"What? You don't trust me?"

He asked mockingly

"No."

But nonetheless she gathered her things and followed him out of the library and down the hallway. Once they arrived to the destination. Chloe was terribly confused. They were just standing in front of a brick wall. Suddenly just as she was about to say something the walls bricks morphed to form a door.

"How did you-"

Chloe began to speak but was cut off by Tom opening the door for her. Inside revealed a green sofa with a matching green armchair and a large fireplace, behind it stood a large book case covering the entire back wall and other bookcases lined up in rows. The celling stood incredibly tall with a magnificent chandelier hanging from it.
